As an example, in the Gregorian calendar the minimum range of values for the Day unit is 1-28.

NSCalendar minimumRangeOfUnit example.

you'll need to know how many months the calendar has:

NSRange minMonthRange = [coptic minimumRangeOfUnit:NSMonthCalendarUnit]; // {1,13}
NSRange maxMonthRange = [coptic maximumRangeOfUnit:NSMonthCalendarUnit]; // {1,13}
So it looks like every year has 13 months. OK, how about days in a month?

NSRange minDayRange = [coptic minimumRangeOfUnit:NSDayCalendarUnit]; // {1,5}
NSRange maxDayRange = [coptic maximumRangeOfUnit:NSDayCalendarUnit]; // {1,30}

Example of [NSCalendar minimumRangeOfUnit].

Next, we count how many days from fromDate to the next desired weekday:

    NSInteger daysUntilDesiredWeekday = weekday - components.weekday;
    // If fromDate is a Wednesday and weekday is Monday (for example),
    // daysUntilDesiredWeekday is negative.  Fix that.
    NSRange weekdayRange = [self minimumRangeOfUnit:NSWeekdayCalendarUnit];
    if (daysUntilDesiredWeekday < weekdayRange.location) {
        daysUntilDesiredWeekday += weekdayRange.length;
    }
